21、The Best Films of 2022
Tar
Set in the international world of Western classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tar. She is widely considered as one of the greatest living composer-conductors and first-ever female music director of a German orchestra. It is an unfolding thriller about a brilliant artist who’s destroyed by her own appetites. So many of the people who see “Tar” come away believing that Lydia Tar actually exists.
The Fabelmans
Spiclberg was right to wait this long to tell the story of his youth on film. He has made a vivid and well-structured biography that looks back in love and anger. The movie not only aches at memories of watching the separation of his parents, but also tells teen tales of romance and prejudice. And we can feel Spielberg’s enthusiasm in the medium he would revolutionize.
Turn Every Page
If Lizzic Gottlicb’s documentary about Robert Caro and Robert Gottlicb were just a piece of good-old-days literary work, it wouldn’t be a deep and satisfying movie. Robert Caro, who is an outstanding author of “The Power Broker”, and Robert Gottlieb, the legendary editor who has guided all of Caro’s books, emerge as stimulating giants. What unites them is their devotion to the civilizing glory of the word.
The Musical
The plot of the movie is about Evan, a New York kid suffering from his parents’ divorce, as he tries to absorb himself into small-town Indiana and stage a successful Coming-of-Age Day. The more we see the movie directed by Tamra Davis, the more we will be addicted to the magic of the songs and the energy released by the musical sequences.
【1】What is the setting of the first movie Tar?
A.Germany history.
B.Literary world.
C.Classical music.
D.Indiana culture.
【2】Which movie would you choose if you like documentary?
A.Tar.

C.Turn Every Page.
D.The Fabelmans.
【3】What do the movies The Fabelmans and The Musical have in common?

B.They focus on teenagers’ school life.
C.They are both biographies of the directors.
D.They show the influence of parents’ relationship.

23、In the United States, people often use large amounts of salt to remove dangerous ice from roads and walkways in the winter. But when the spring arrives, all that salt can really damage plants in the garden. Salt is the chemical sodium chloride.
Salt pulls water from living cells, like plant roots and the healthy ground soil around them. So, spring growth may show up lighter in color than normal, or, in the worst cases, plants may simply die. Rain can wash away much of the salt, permitting some older plants to live. Salt can also be removed by pouring a large amount of water on the ground where plants are growing. But the best action is to simply use less salt.
There are, of course, other things that can be used to cover for sodium chloride. One is the chemical calcium chloride, which does less damage to plants and melts ice faster than salt. It also works when the temperature is below negative 17 degrees Celsius. Salt loses some of its effectiveness at temperatures below negative 12 degrees.
Still, calcium chloride does put chloride ion (氯离子), which plants don’t like, into the soil. It is also more expensive and can do more damage to cars. Calcium magnesium acetate, also called CMA, has become a popular alternative. It is made by combining limestone, a type of rock, and vinegar. It breaks down naturally so it does not damage plants or soil. It stays on roads and does not hurt cars.
CMA does have problems, however. It is most effective at around negative 9 Celsius, just like salt. And it is better at stopping ice from forming rather than removing it. So, it is best placed on a road before the temperature gets very cold. Some materials other than salt—such as sand or very small pieces of wood—can also work against ice. But they can be very messy.
【1】What is the poor result by using salt to remove ice?
A.All the plants are likely to disappear overnight.
B.The plants may well look much weaker than ever.
C.Some older plants can’t resist being washed away.
D.A large amount of water is trapped on the roads.
【2】What does the underlined part mean in the 3rd paragraph?
A.Remove.
B.Wrap.
C.Collect.
D.Replace.
【3】What is the advantage of calcium chloride?
A.It functions well at cold temperatures.
B.It provides chloride ion to the soil.
C.It can melt ice just above minus 17℃.
D.It brings no damage to plants or soil.
【4】The author wants to show
A.many materials can be used to remove ice.
B.using less salt is beneficial to your plants.
C.sand and pieces of wood are eco-friendly.
D.too much salt is used on the roads in the USA.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写 词数应为150左右。
My wife, Megan, and I went out to dinner with an old friend who we had not seen in a while. There had been some talk of COVID-19 (新型冠状病毒)on the news, but it was early in the outbreak and people were still going about their daily routines. Even though everyone in our group felt perfectly fine, we took precautions(预防):We washed our hands with soap , did not share food and had no significantly close contact.
A few days later, our friend called and told us that she had tested positive for the coronavirus. She had felt some mild symptoms(症状)for a day or so after that dinner and was able to be tested because she is a doctor. On the following day, started to feel a little tired and my head was a bit cloudy. I decided to stay in the master bedroom away from the rest of my family. The next morning. I woke up with a 39-degree fever. That was when we realized that I might have caught the virus from our friend.
At once, Megan called our state's coronavirus hotline, who then called in our primary care doctor and the head of our local hospital system's coronavirus team. We explained that we had been in contact with someone who had been tested positive, and I was having symptoms. They quickly approved me to receive a test at an urgent care center located five minutes' drive from my house. The result made my heart sank — I was also tested positive, and the local hospital wasn't equipped with the facilities to treat my disease. As a mild case, I was recommended to stay at home and quarantine (隔离)myself.
Following the doctor's advice, Megan and I quarantined ourselves and our children. With my developed symptoms , I started isolation in the bedroom, and the only interaction I had with Megan was when she brought in food. Megan slept on a small couch in our home office away from the kids' rooms. She also minimized her contact with our kids in case she was carrying the virus.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We decided to call everyone we had been in contact with over the course of the past week.
